Console Emulation Audio Demo

 

. Original Mix ITB: without any Nebula process.

. Console mix = Original Mix processed in this way:

 

. In every track has been inserted as 1st plugin one line-input program at unity gain without "drive" the input.

. A total of 17 tracks have been matched with the original tracks at +/-0.01dB tolerance.

. One SendReturn program has been inserted in the FX buss.

. Finally one mixbuss-clean program has been inserted into stereo buss out at unity gain without "drive" the input.

. Mixed at 96kHz/24bit into CubaseAI4 without mastering or normalization.

. The mixes have been matched for +/-0.1dB.

. Mix VCC are the mix with Slate Digital Virtual Console emulation done in the same way, for comparison.

 

Pay attention to listen not only at the sound stage (wideness and deepness) and at the spectral frequency but also at how the dynamics changes, how the voice is more live and how the harshness is smoothed with some general punch added, everything glued.

 

AlexB Console mix sounds more dense due to the natural harmonic saturation and NOT due to COMPRESSION. The sound can shows different equalization from the natural characteristics by tubes, transformers and electronics components in the audio path. These are only examples to give an idea of the console emulation sound, everyone can pull out his personal sound. Console isn't an "effect" but a mixer, so it glues the sound giving more analog feel, warmth, punch, dynamics, details, harmonically rich and open, deep sound.
